1. Ruck intensity. Being able to quickly resource a ruck is vital. We showed it in patches in the Munster second half2. Basics of set play. Securing lineout ball. Get competitive sessions in with local clubs and the Academy. People who know the calls jumping against. 3. Defensive systems. Ulster should adopt Ireland's defensive system4. Basic fitness. Treat this like an extended preseason and work on being the quickest and leanest team in the league

It was ridiculous how many rucks had no support and then Wasps got turnover ball. Then you see the forwards in the defensive line looking punctured. The fitness levels are a concern.
